Trans Augrabies Day 2

88km mix of gravel and some interesting single track, more so old service roads with erosion damage asking for some fast reactions and lane changes ....

 

Fokus my kind, FOKUS ...

Going UP Klipspringer means the rangers carry your bike up there ...

After, on top of, Klipspringer is some serious hiking trails.  You need to by fresh and sharp to manage most of this safely.  The good cyclists got to truly test their skills here.  Mere mortals walked a few sections ....

Day 1 I was going slow, keeping matches for day 2 and 3.  Total elapsed time of 5.20 for 80km, including lots of stops.

 

Day 2 has an elapsed time of 5.11 for the 88km route .... matches were burnt !!

 

About to find out if I kept enough in reserve for day 3 ... 😉

Trans Augrabies day 3 - What perfect scenery and conditions for cycling.

 

Always surprising to see what your body is capable of .... started at a good pace, then relaxed in traffic in the single tracks.

 

Made the best of it, got some nice videos.

 

Once we got to the gravel roads I opened up .... body held up better than expected 👍

 

Rangers helping us down Klipspringer ...
